Faculty members are good. Placement is not very much. The infrastructure and hostel are good.
Placements: To be honest, a very less percentage of students get placed in our college. The main two reasons for this are that a majority of students prefer higher studies and a less number of companies come for campus placements. However, companies will come if we consistently contact them and show enthusiasm for jobs rather than higher studies. Some banks, tractor companies, and irrigation companies are the top recruiting companies.
Infrastructure: Compared to all other government colleges, I would say our college provides better infrastructure and hostel facilities with good quality food. The college also supports students in sports and games by helping them participate in inter-agricultural national level and South Zone level competitions.
Faculty: Faculty members are very good at teaching and provide immense support. The curriculum is relevant to the present scenario, as the new syllabus includes courses like artificial intelligence. It also gives students a chance to get a Diploma Certificate if they are interested in leaving the course after 1 or 2 years. Semester exams are quite difficult. But it is not a difficult task even for a below-average student to pass.

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Best college for pursuing MBA!
Placements: As a current MBA student at Kerala Agricultural University, I've observed that approximately 85% of students from my batch were successfully placed in various reputed companies. The highest package offered was around INR 12 Lacs per annum, whereas the lowest package was around INR 4.5 Lacs per annum. The average package stood at approximately INR 6.5 Lacs per annum. The top recruiting companies for our course include multinational corporations such as Deloitte, TCS, Infosys, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank. About 70% of students secured internships with leading companies during their course of study. Top roles offered to MBA graduates from Kerala Agricultural University include Business Analyst, Marketing Manager, Financial, and Supply Chain Manager.
Infrastructure: As a current MBA student at Kerala Agricultural University, I can provide insights into the infrastructure and facilities available for our course and hostel. The university offers modern amenities to support academic excellence. The classrooms are equipped with audio-visual aids, facilitating interactive learning sessions. The library houses a vast collection of books, journals, and online resources, aiding research and study endeavors. The university provides Wi-Fi connectivity across the campus. Regarding hostel facilities, the university ensures a comfortable living environment for students. The hostel is well-maintained, with adequate facilities such as rooms, recreational areas, and laundry services. The quality of food served in the mess and canteen is satisfactory, offering a variety of nutritious meals to cater to diverse dietary preferences.
Faculty: The faculty members in the MBA program at Kerala Agricultural University are highly qualified and knowledgeable in their respective fields. They bring a wealth of experience from both academia and industry, which enriches the learning experience for students. They are approachable and always willing to assist students in understanding complex concepts and addressing any queries or concerns they may have. The curriculum of the MBA program is meticulously designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of various business disciplines, including marketing, finance, human resources, and strategy. The semester exams in this college are rigorous but fair. They assess students' understanding of the course material and their ability to apply it effectively in different contexts.

Placements need to be improved.
Placements: Placements were not up to the mark. Majority of the students got placed in banking firms. I don't know about placement rates. We have a placement cell, but as I said earlier, they need to provide more opportunities. They can invite more companies to our campus for placements.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is fine, and we are satisfied with our college. All the relevant complaints are being solved and corrected timely. We have a good canteen near to the campus, and there is a snack bar inside the campus. We had some issues related to our hostel earlier, but all those issues were solved by the vice chancellor of KAU.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are very much supportive. The course curriculum is not that much tough, and it can be easily handled by the students. PPTs, seminars and assignments are really making our classes more active. The student to faculty ratio is 39:1. Students can go for industry visits from the second year of their course.
Other: Scholarships are offered for the students who belong to SC/ST categories, and they also offer scholarships for the students who come under ICAR. The fee structure is comparatively affordable, and the value of our course makes our MBA degree more demandable than other ordinary MBA degrees. Students are taking initiatives for fest, events and other extracurricular activities. Campus surroundings provide a good ambience for students.

A truthful review for my waiting friends.
Placements: I'm not interested in going for a job after M.Sc. I want to continue my studies further so, I never bother about placements. But placements are very poor in my opinion, because we are getting under employment placements therefore most of the students are opting for Ph.D. Banks, IBPS, UPSC.
Infrastructure: I'm studying plant breeding & genetics. For my dept., the infrastructure is fully available with library, Wi-Fi, indoor stadium and outdoor as well where football & cricket can be played. I'm from Andhra Pradesh so I am not able to adjust to their food habits. Hostel rooms are good with available Wi-Fi. As far as my concern, I didn't face any issues relating to hostel and college.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and highly professional holding Ph.D and employed with several government research projects. Teaching quality is very good. Usually board & Power Point mode. We are 6 M.Sc students and we have 5 professors, therefore 6:5. No industrial exposure.

Absolutely satisfied with renowned faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: Most of the students in KCAET were well placed in food industries such as Hatsun, Jubilant Food Works, Kohinoor, etc. But most of them opted for higher studies in foreign countries such as New Zealand, Canada and Australia. However, it's our honour to be blessed with good alumni. The salary packages offered were decent and ranged between 1.5 LPA to 3 LPA. Students were offered roles such as production executive, quality controller, and also R&D executive. Most of the students got internships in the reputed organisations such as Pepsico, United Breweries, Britannia, Hatsun Agro Products, etc., which nurture to be the future leaders. There is a placement cell in the college, but it depends on us to utilise it effectively and to find the benefit through it.
Infrastructure: Concerning facilities, you would be amazed by the facilities the college is providing in spite of being a government college. I assure you don't have to worry about the facilities in the college as it's international. The college provides classrooms, library, medical facilities, labs and also high-speed Wi-Fi connection, to students. Labs in the college contain advanced equipment and also offers a handsome experience to the students which reflects the quality of education. The canteen offers delicious food to the students, and it also offers an option to select the food from the menu. Even the hostel rooms are very pretty and quite comfortable. The infrastructure of the campus is out of the mark. The campus is spread over 100 acres. Campus life is good.
Faculty: Faculty members of the college are renowned personalities of Kerala Agricultural University. All are research engineers, so KCAET students are proud to be blessed with such faculty members who are highly qualified from IITs and foreign universities around the globe. The teaching methods are not confined inside the classroom as all are practical oriented and also conduct an industrial visit for each course. In our case, our batch was blessed to get overseas industrial exposure from National Ilan University Taiwan. The course curriculum of KCAET consists of 8 semesters of classes, including one semester of industrial training. The course curriculum of the college is much useful to the students to learn about the food from the basics.
Other: About the extracurricular activities, I am not sure whether you'll have these many opportunities in any other college to hang out on the campus fest, surroundings, and to participate in sports, etc.

Everything is good like teachers library infrastructure etc.
Placements: Some of our seniors got a job through campus placement. VST Tillers, Kirloskar Pumps and such companies are offering jobs here. In VST Tillers, they treated our agricultural engineers as a Technical Trainer. The salary offered by them is 13,000 and an extra 500 for food and accommodation per day. Almost all the final year students do their internship programme during the last semester as an inplant training. At this time, we get 8,000 as a stipend.
Infrastructure: 24-hours Wi-Fi is available. But, the computer lab is not much developed while comparing with the other self-financing colleges. The chemistry and physics labs are also very poor, but the electrical lab is sufficient. The other labs like geotechnical engineering lab and HMT labs are good. The library has sufficient books for all the students and a book bank scheme is there for providing individual copies of books to the students at half the price of the original. Really tasty food is served by our canteen, and the hostel rooms also sufficient to accommodate 4 people per room.
Faculty: Mainly, 4 departments are here. All the teachers are good and qualified, and almost all the teachers possess a doctorate. We have industrial visits related to our subjects, and most of the theory papers have practical sessions in our syllabus. In one department, there are many guest lectures as well.
Other: Our college is superb because here, we not only doing studies but also all other extracurricular activities like arts festival, sports day, athletics etc. Like the other colleges, our college also has a little kind of politics which makes a student into a social being.
